Norwegian Scenic Routes involve the efforts of 7 county administrations, 57 municipalities, other public bodies, businesses, local organisations, and individual enthusiasts. For Norwegian Scenic Routes to be a successful attraction we need the cooperation and contribution of many participants, both regionally and locally. The attraction of the entire package may also involve food, accommodation, hospitality, activities and experiences. We have great expectations for a goal-oriented commitment from businesses and local communities in all the 18 Scenic Route areas.
